FYI Chris, al Qaeda/radical Salifists refer to themselves as Jihadists and do not view the term as an insult. I've read a great deal of the Arabic writings of their's (in books and online fourms) and the use is prevalent.

I think you got heat because, well, maybe you weren't really, but it seemed like you were equating the thousands of ordinary muslims who were offended by the cartoons and who maybe even protested the cartoons, with those muslims who blow up airplanes, buildings, themselves, etc...
